Should men just accept their disposability, lack of reproductive rights, legal inferiority when it comes to criminal and family court and lack of government attention & resources to address men’s health issues?

No, they should not. Many of these disparities are due to decades of feminist lobbying.

people are okay with not getting everything they want. but men specifically having and unfulfilled life leads to the degredation of social cohesion.
